A summary of what’s happening this weekend

Coming up this weekend 9-10 February 2019

This weekend we’d love you to be with us as we look at God’s word to find out how it is that he’s building his church. We might have all sorts of weird and wonderful ideas about how to grow things, but we’re crazy not to listen to God and ‘go with the grain’ of building his church, using the tools he’s given us.

At 5pm on Saturday we’ve got a kids’ program, so it’s ideal for families with younger kids. Then, after we all have dinner together, our youth group meets from around 7.30 till 9.30pm.

On Sunday at 9am our church is a little more traditional, but still fresh and modern. Both services will have Lord’s Supper this weekend.

We’re going to also have our weekly Question and Answer time, where our minister Jodie will answer your questions from last week, which were:

  1. If ‘church’ is any get-together of Christians, then why do we need pastors?
  2. Don’t we need people of all ages in a public gathering in order for it to be a genuine church?
  3. If my Serve Team is ‘church’, then do I still need to come to the weekend services?
  4. Which bone did God take from Adam’s ribs, and is it still missing in people today?

So, be sure to come along and join us for church. Whether you’re a regular, or if you’ve never set foot in a religious building, then our church is the place for you!

We’d really love you to join us this weekend at Jamberoo Anglican Church, because we’ve got lots to share and learn, together. Come along at 5pm Saturday or 9am Sunday.

Our minister, Jodie, will be speaking to us on the topic, ‘Why is God Building the Church?”. It might seem really obvious to you, but we reckon you’re likely to be surprised by the answer. We’ll be looking at a bunch of different Bible passages, but focusing on Ephesians chapter 3.

We’re also going to be commissioning our SRE (Special Religious Education) scripture teachers with the special assistance of Paul Green MLC, from the NSW Legislative Council. Paul will be present with us at 5pm Saturday, and we’ll do a video replay of his segment during the 9am Sunday service.

As well, we’ll be hearing answers to these two questions that were asked by our church members last week:

1. Shouldn’t we think of Serve Teams as ‘fellowships’ rather than ‘churches’?

2. Because the original word for church is ‘ecclesia’, does that mean that the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes is about the church?

Please join us for church this weekend. There’s really nothing more important and significant that getting together with people who know Jesus.

This weekend you can sleep in because our Sunday morning service moves to the all-new time of 9am!

Be sure to join us as we look carefully at God’s word to find out ‘What on Earth is the Church’, our next instalment in our series called ‘How to build the Church’.

During our services we also love to think hard about issues, and so our weekly question time this week has these questions:

1. Where was the Tower of Babel, and is it still standing?

2. How tall was the Tower of Babel?

3. Was it significant that Jesus appeared first to women after his resurrection?

During our 5pm service we’ll have a kids’ program, and then nearly everyone gets together for a tasty meal afterwards. Then after dinner, it’s youth group.

Our 9am service this weekend will also feature the Lord’s Supper, then espresso coffee and morning tea.

We’d love you to join us!

This weekend our Senior Minister Jodie McNeill will be speaking on “The Battle of the Builders” as we kick off an all-new series called ‘How to Build the Church’. 

During our 5pm Saturday church service we’ll continue our popular weekly question and answer time, and Jodie will be answering these questions:

  1. Aren’t the books of Ruth and Esther named after women?
  2. If humans are lower than angels (Hebrews 2:7), and angels are sent to serve humans (1:14), then where do humans sit in terms of importance?
  3. If God is all-powerful, then why can’t he choose to ignore people when they reject him?

Our 8am Sunday service will be morning prayer from the ‘Sunday Services’ book.

If you’re wanting to check out our church we’d really love you to visit us on Saturday at 5pm for a contemporary service with kids’ program and dinner afterwards. Our youth group ‘Alive’ is taking a break for the holidays. Or come along on Sunday at 8am for a classic Anglican service.

This weekend we’re getting together to hear God speak to us as we welcome Graham Errington who will be speaking on  “The genealogy of Jesus” from Matthew chapter 1 verses 1 to 17. 

Our 5pm Saturday service will include a special Christmas presentation and our 8am Sunday service will be a Holy Communion Second Order AAPB service.

And then on Tuesday at 9.00am we’re joining together for Christmas Day! We will be hearing from Jodie McNeill as he speaks on the topic “Follow the star” from Matthew chapter 2 verses 1 to 12.

It’s pretty normal for us to have visitors join us on Christmas Day, so if you’re thinking of popping in for the first time, you’ll fit in nicely. Come and join us for a tasty espresso coffee, and some morning tea!

There are many things to distract us from the true meaning of Christmas. Why not make the time to spend an hour or so on Christmas Day reflecting on the miracle of Jesus coming into the world? You won’t be disappointed…

PS – remember, it’s 9.00am on Tuesday morning for our Christmas Day service.
